A group of connected women get together at a beach house.

Not much here. It's very, very, light and fluffy -- almost to the point of no plot at all.

Still, it would make a good no-brain beach read.

I found this book very predictable. I had everyone's "issues" figured out early in the book. I thought I'd like the story but many things seemed unrealistic and the characters were too childish for my liking. ...more

I just found the characters to have no depth and were mostly annoying. Not even good as a beach read personally, but maybe the southern belle genre is just not for me.
